Familiale

La mère fait du tricot Le fils fait la guerre Elle trouve ça tout naturel la mère Et le père qu'est-ce qu'il fait le père? Il fait des affaires Sa femme fait du tricot Son fils la guerre Lui des affaires Il trouve ça tout naturel le père Et le fils et le fils Qu'est-ce qu'il trouve le fils? Il ne trouve absolument rien le fils Le fils sa mère fait du tricot son père des affaires lui la guerre Quand il aura fini la guerre Il fera des affaires avec son père La guerre continue la mère continue elle tricote Le père continue il fait des affaires Le fils est tué il ne continue plus Le père et la mère vont au cimetière Ils trouvent ça naturel le père et la mère La vie continue la vie avec le tricot la guerre les affaires Les affaires la guerre le tricot la guerre Les affaires les affaires et les affaires La vie avec le cimetière.

"I didn't understand what the point to it was but it was still alright!..... David!! "** **Wonder how you think it compares with some of the war poetry you've read in English David - Ms Horn **     I was interested by the contrasting actions of the different family members and how there seems to be a generation gap between parents and child.- Lisa

Found it rather disturbing. Why do they find it all quite natural? Have they become desensitised to war? Kay

 it is a bit random that he just dies matt

It was an okay poem but it was a bit random talking about work then the son died, their one and onli Ruaridh.... Good point Ruaridh - wonder if carrying on with the routine is their way of coming to terms with son's death, life must go on? - Ms Horn All the sounds are <span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif">ère  -<span style="COLOR: rgb(112,4,159)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(237,38,38)"><span style="COLOR: rgb(178,25,16)">  <span style="COLOR: rgb(13,41,217); FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">type sounds - except that awful clicky tricot.

losts of repetition very interesting sam

Does the repetition reflect their daily life - same thing day after day? Ms Horn

 * //__i tought the poem was a bit similar to some stuff by wilfred owen in particuler disabled about the poeople loosing their sun but carrying on it made me think of the bit in disabled when nobody was interested in him but that might just be because we are doin it in english lol

"i think the poem talk too much about the life instead of the actual war and then suddenly he dies...and they STILL carry on as usual...interesting..." **<span style="FONT-SIZE: 150%; COLOR: #00ffc5; FONT-FAMILY: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif"> "I liked the poem because of the rythem" 'I think the poem was confusing and repeatative so i didnt like it.'-iona
